APPLICATIONS
CHEMICAL FEEDSTOCK PURIFICATION
Separation of Hydrocarbons and Other Process Gasses
A substantial amount of the total global energy consumption is due to hydrocarbon purification processes. Olefin/paraffin (O/P) separation, used for propylene or ethylene purification, are amongst the most energy-demanding separation processes. UniSieve membrane add-on units enable highly efficient hydrocarbon purification by increasing process-energy savings, maximizing product recovery, and reducing process CO2 emissions.
Application Examples:
-
Propylene purification (distillation colunmn hybrids / C3 splitter replacement)
-
Propylene recycling (flare gas, polypropylene reactors)
CARBON CAPTURE
UniSieve provides point-source carbon capture solutions for a wide variety of applications. The modular solution provides a high degree of flexibility.
- Fully electrified solution
- No chemicals needed
- Simple operations
Applications Examples:
-
Waste-to-energy plants
-
Cement plants
-
Carbon capture from other flue gas
ENERGY APPLICATIONS
Hydrogen, Biogas, and More
Energy carriers such as hydrogen or methane are transported and consumed in purified form. Purification accounts for a substantial share of the final product price and ecological footprint. UniSieve add-on units boost the separation performance of existing and newly built infrastructure.
Applications Examples:
-
Biogas purification (methane purification)
-
Hydrogen deblending
-
Power-to-gas separation upgrade (hydrogen recycling, methane purification)
CUSTOM SEPARATIONS
UniSieve can tailor the pore size of the molecular sieving membranes in a very precise way. By modifying the crystals in the membrane, a variety of different compounds that differ in size can be separated.
